Many restaurants, stores and other businesses will be offering Veterans Day discounts Sunday and Monday to current and former members of our armed forces.
To cash in, you may have to prove you served, which can be a problem for some veterans. They don't all have official government military photo identification anymore, and carrying around discharge papers isn't practical.
Some county governments in our region are trying to fill that void by not only providing free photo ID confirming a veteran's status, but also by lining up local businesses that will offer discounts to cardholders year-round. That's not a universal solution, though, because some counties, including Lehigh and Northampton, don't offer the service.
A statewide solution is in the works, though it won't be implemented immediately. Lawmakers passed legislation this year authorizing the state Department of Transportation to place a veterans designation on driver's licenses.

Gov. Tom Corbett already has signed the legislation, House Bill 2428. A public ceremony to celebrate passage of the law and others designed to assist veterans and active military members is planned for Monday at Fort Indiantown Gap.
William Winkler, a Navy veteran from Upper Saucon Township, brought the issue to my attention this year. He said there is a need for veterans to have some sort of ID verifying their status and he questioned why other counties make cards but Lehigh County doesn't.
Winkler told me he contacted county officials, but received only "a typical government lackadaisical lack of any interest." He said a letter to the commissioners went unanswered.
Tom Dye, Lehigh's veterans affairs director, told me the county has chosen not to follow the lead of nearby counties for several reasons. He said the cards are not official government identification and that the discount programs they help people tap can be manipulated, so the county chose to steer clear of the issue.
Plus, he said, the county is aware of the state initiative and has chosen to focus on providing other services with its limited resources.
"Our job's to get people veterans benefits, not issue ID cards," Dye said.
Northampton County officials told me they considered it, but it wasn't an immediate priority amid a change in veterans directors and now that the state has taken the lead. Carbon County doesn't do it either and will defer to the state's program, veterans affairs Director Henry Desrosiers said.
Active armed forces members have photo IDs. Veterans get them if they are receiving medical benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or if they served until retirement. But someone who didn't serve until retirement and isn't getting benefits might not have an ID, which is why some counties are making cards.
Berks, Bucks and Montgomery counties started providing the free service for their residents within the past year. Monroe County plans to start soon, though its cards won't have photos.
Bucks County has issued about 5,500 ID cards and created a network of about 200 businesses that offer discounts to cardholders, military affairs Director Dan Fraley said. The cards are limited to county residents and are meant to be used only for the discount program, which includes merchants ranging from dry cleaners to funeral homes to car dealers.
"It's really taken off," he said. "With the economy being a little sluggish the way it is, it's really nice that these businesses are offering the discounts."
Montgomery County has issued about 2,600 ID cards and has recruited about 170 businesses to honor the cards, Recorder of Deeds Nancy Becker said. The county funds the program through fees collected for filing documents, and it paid for start-up costs with a $5,000 grant from American Heritage Credit Union, she said.
"It's really not costing tax dollars," Becker said.
She said the program is geared to county residents, but the county hasn't turned away veterans from other counties who have requested IDs.
Under House Bill 2428, all veterans can have their status noted on their driver's licenses when their licenses are up for renewal. The program should start in 12 to 18 months.
State Rep. Jeff Pyle, a Republican representing Armstrong and Indiana counties, told me he wrote the bill after hearing from a veteran who tried to claim a store discount but didn't have proper ID and his large Vietnam War tattoo wouldn't suffice.
"We're hoping these guys can use this to suck up some of the gravy," Pyle said. "Why shouldn't the guy be allowed to have a free cookie or whatever? He already paid the toll."
As with the county programs, veterans will have to provide PennDOT with proof of their service. The program is projected to cost $660,000 to set up, and then $40,000 annually. Veterans will not have to pay to get a veterans designation added to their license, though they will have to pay the normal license renewal fee.
If you're a veteran who doesn't have ID, that doesn't mean you can't get the Veterans Day discount you deserve at participating businesses Sunday and Monday. Not all of them require photo identification. Some may accept your discharge papers or even a photo of you in uniform, according to the terms of some offers that I reviewed. Some may just take your word.
You can find a list of businesses offering discounts on my blog at blogs.mcall.com/watchdog. Verify the offers before you go, just to be sure.

The issue is related to a student-athlete's progress toward a degree. Johnstone, a 6-foot-3, 295-pound senior, has passed 30 hours, including two A's this summer, but has changed his major twice and reportedly is one hour shy of the benchmark.
"It's a terrible blow," Clark said. "This really is a kid who's done everything we've asked him to do. We make a mistake and he pays for it.
"I'm just sickened by it because we thought it would be overturned. OK, we realize it's a clerical mistake. I think we all just figured once they looked at it, they'd go, 'It's just a mistake, fix it.' He's already served one game."
JSU officials were not immediately available for comment.
The issue surfaced late in the practice week for Alabama State, and Johnstone was held out of the game. The NCAA's decision will force him also to miss Saturday's home opener against Jacksonville University and games with North Alabama and Georgia State.
He will return in time for the Gamecocks to start conference play against Murray State.
Clark said Johnstone took the news in stride.
"He said, 'Coach, I'll help coach the other guys and get myself better.' This is a great kid," Clark said. "That's what he did Saturday. He encouraged them and helped get them through the game."
Terrence Pendleton, a 6-0, 315-pound junior from Tanner, again will take Johnstone's place up front.
"The positive is we had to get ready for it last week, and they got to go through a game together," Clark said. "Of course, the silver lining is we get him back."
In a related personnel issue, tests on quarterback Eli Jenkins' swollen left hand came back negative and the redshirt freshman is expected to be available to play Saturday night against Jacksonville University.
Jenkins hurt his hand on the Gamecocks' second offensive play in their 24-22 win over Alabama State.

Hi everyone! I too, want to help revitalize this forum spot. I used to come here often to learn and find great wisdoms and found it very valuable. My question to you now is about practicing midwifery rurally. I live about an hour from the nearest hospital, and will soon be serving woman in my community. For those of you who practice rurally, or even those of you who do not, what are some of the differences in the way you practice when serving woman further from medical services? I plan to look over my current protocols and look closely at them, to see if I have anything to revise or update, (I have been on maternity leave for the past year). Just curious to hear from some of you about the topic. Thanks for your input!
I too practice rurally, most of the time, in Southern OH, which is the northern edge of the area called "Appalachia" A very depressed part of the country. I do get occasional calls from more urban areas, 2 hrs away. I realized that when I do get calls from the cities, it is usually because I am cheaper than the city midwives, so I have started charging more to go into the cities (Columbus, Dayton & Cincinnati) However, most of the ppl near me are on welfare, so go to the hospital for a "free" birth. Many say they would love to have a homebirth, but cannot afford one, even w/o asking my fee, so how do they know they can't afford my services? Very frustrating!
In general though, I do see more transfers from my urban clients than the rural ones. I think ppl are more likely to live a healthier lifestyle in the country than the city, but not always.
Good information which you are share with us .

Introduced vector-borne diseases, particularly avian malaria (Plasmodium relictum) and avian pox virus (Avipoxvirus spp.), continue to play significant roles in the decline and extinction of native forest birds in the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaiian honeycreepers are particularly susceptible to avian malaria and have survived into this century largely because of persistence of high elevation refugia on Kaua'i, Maui, and Hawai'i Islands, where transmission is limited by cool temperatures. The long term stability of these refugia is increasingly threatened by warming trends associated with global climate change. Since cost effective and practical methods of vector control in many of these remote, rugged areas are lacking, adaptation through processes of natural selection may be the best long-term hope for recovery of many of these species. We document emergence of tolerance rather than resistance to avian malaria in a recent, rapidly expanding low elevation population of Hawai'i 'Amakihi (Hemignathus virens) on the island of Hawai'i. Experimentally infected low elevation birds had lower mortality, lower reticulocyte counts during recovery from acute infection, lower weight loss, and no declines in food consumption relative to experimentally infected high elevation Hawai'i 'Amakihi in spite of similar intensities of infection. Emergence of this population provides an exceptional opportunity for determining physiological mechanisms and genetic markers associated with malaria tolerance that can be used to evaluate whether other, more threatened species have the capacity to adapt to this disease.

H.; Majewski, M. S.; Foreman, W. T.; Genualdi, S. A.; Mohammed, A.; Simonich, S. L. Massey Anthropogenic semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) that persist in the environment, bioaccumulate, are toxic at low concentrations, and undergo long-range atmospheric transport (LRT) were identified and quantified in the atmosphere of a Saharan dust source region (Mali) and during Saharan dust incursions at downwind sites in the eastern Caribbean (U.S. Virgin Islands, Trinidad and Tobago) and Cape Verde. More organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides (OCPPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners were detected in the Saharan dust region than at downwind sites. Seven of the 13 OCPPs detected occurred at all sites: chlordanes, chlorpyrifos, dacthal, dieldrin, endosulfans, hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and trifluralin. Total SOCs ranged from 1.9–126 ng/m³ (mean = 25 ± 34) at source and 0.05–0.71 ng/m³ (mean = 0.24 ± 0.18) at downwind sites during dust conditions. Most SOC concentrations were 1–3 orders of magnitude higher in source than downwind sites. A Saharan source was confirmed for sampled air masses at downwind sites based on dust particle elemental composition and rare earth ratios, atmospheric back trajectory models, and field observations. SOC concentrations were considerably below existing occupational and/or regulatory limits; however, few regulatory limits exist for these persistent organic compounds. Long-term effects of chronic exposure to low concentrations of SOCs are unknown, as are possible additive or synergistic effects of mixtures of SOCs, biologically active trace metals, and mineral dust particles transported together in Saharan dust air masses.

Atrazine (ATZ) is a selective triazine herbicide used primarily for pre-emergent weed control in corn, sorghum and sugar cane production. It is one of the most widely used herbicides in North America. Some research published over the last decade suggests that chronic exposure to environmentally relevant ATZ concentrations can adversely impact gonadal development and/or sexual differentiation in amphibians and fish, while other studies report no effect, or moderate effects. As a result, contrasting conclusions have been published regarding the potential effects of the herbicide ATZ on aquatic species. Two near-identical four-month studies in 2009 (Study I) and 2010 (Study II), were performed investigating the potential for chronic ATZ exposure to affect zebrafish (Danio rerio) sexual development and differentiation. Zebrafish, were chronically exposed to 0, 0.1, 1, 10 μM ATZ or 1 nM 17ß-estradiol (E2). Fish were histologically examined to assign gender and to evaluate potential impacts of E2 or ATZ on gonadal development. Exposure to E2 consistently resulted in a significantly higher proportion of female fish to normal male fish when compared to unexposed fish (both studies). In both studies, ATZ exposure did not significantly influence the percentage of female or male fish when compared to unexposed fish. A greater percentage of abnormally developed male fish and fish lacking differentiated gonadal tissue was observed in Study II E2 exposures but not in ATZ exposures. Together, these studies indicate that long-term exposure to ATZ at or above environmentally relevant concentrations does not significantly impact zebrafish gonadal development or sexual differentiation.

Few studies have assessed the effects of chronic PFOS exposure on central nervous system function in aquatic organisms. The present study defined the behavioral effects of varying life span chronic exposures to low dose PFOS in zebrafish. The zebrafish were treated with vehicle control or 0.5μM PFOS during 1-21, 21-120, or 1-120 day post fertilization (dpf). Chronic PFOS exposure impaired the adult zebrafish behavior mode under the tapping stimulus. The movement speed of 1-120 dpf exposed fish was significantly increased compared with control, while 1-21 and 21-120 dpf exposed groups were not severely affected. PFOS residues in F1 embryos derived from parental exposure during both the 1-120 and 21-120 dpf groups was significantly higher than control, and F1 embryos in these two groups showed obvious malformations, such as uninflated swim bladder (USB) and bent spine (BS). Larvae of the parental exposed to PFOS from 1-21 or 21-120 dpf elicited a higher swim rate than control in both the light and dark periods. Embryos derived from the 1-120 dpf group showed a statistically lower speed in the light period and a higher speed in the dark period as compared with control. Though there is little PFOS residue in 1-21 dpf group, the adverse behavioral effects on both adult and F1 larvae indicate that exposure during the first 21 dpf induce long-term neurobehavior toxicity. Our findings demonstrate that chronic exposure to low dose PFOS in different life stage adversely impacts adult behavior, subsequent offspring malformation, and larval behavior.

Looking ahead to England - Italy: Glenn Hoddle explains why Pirlo must be shackled. Read
Spain win at a canter. France were not at the races this evening. It was not a thriller by any means, but Spain move on to face Portugal in the semi-finals.
FULL TIME Spain 2-0 France
Busquets slides the ball to Torres, who squares up Koscielny and shoots. Shot blocked.
Spain head back to the familiar routine. The match bares little resemblence to a competitive encounter.
Four minutes added-time...
GOAL Spain 2-0 France (Xabi Alonso) The Real Madrid midfielder sends Lloris the wrong way to double the lead.
PENALTY Reveillere fells Pedro in the area. Fair call, even if he fell easily.
Rami wins a header at the far-post, knocked back across goal. Koscielny cannot keep the ball in play.
Ribery wins a corner after claiming a knockdown from a long-ball. What can they do?
France go long for Giroud, who is offside. This is dire...
France are showing no ambition here, or is that they have not been allowed to?
Cazorla replaces Iniesta
France now looking to push forward and grab a chance, but there is no inspiration.
Pass, pass, pass. Only 56% possession tonight.
Spain looking to monopolise possession as the time ticks away. Nothing France can do.
OFFSIDE Jordi Alba bundles through a tackle and slides in Torres. Offside given, questionably, but Torres' shot was saved anyway.
Immediately, the target-man is penalised for 'pushing' Arbeloa. Questionable.
Giroud replaces Yann M'Vila
France manage to surrender possession as Ribery tackles Reveillere. Xabi Alonso's long-ball for Torres is overhit.
Fernando Torres does well on the right to win a corner. Xavi and Iniesta take it short. Wasted.
Menez booked for dissent. Would miss a potential semi-final.
The ball is back with France's defence. Played long for Benzema, via a Nasri flick, but marshalled by Pique.

The French still have possession, working the ball from side-to-side. Spain staying compact in defence

Menez working hard on the right to pressurise Jordi Alba. He is penalised though. Alba likes to go to ground quite easily, I must say.

Benzema's eyes light up at the site of goal from 30 yards. A long way over the bar.
France preparing some changes it seems. Spain keeping the ball, as expected.
BRILLIANT! Cesc is slipped through on goal and looks to round Lloris, but the goalkeeper slides in early to claim the ball. Chance squandered.

Better from France. Ribery creates space for a cross and finds Debuchy who heads just over the bar.
Clichy comes forward on the left and plays the ball infield for Ribery. Ramos covers.
Malouda is robbed in midfield and Spain counter. Fabregas gets the ball on the right and crosses. There is nobody in the centre, though.
Spain win the ball back from France, but shock! David Silva gives the ball away.
France showing a bit more energy now. Ribery wins a corner on the left. Swung in, but headed away by Arbeloa.
Spain passing the ball around with little killer instinct again. The clock is ticking...
France are making a hash of every attacking opportunity they create. Ribery and Benzema culpable of poor passes.

Xavi crosses in from the far-side, but it is Koscielny who rises highest to head away.
Silva now runs down the right for Spain and is marked by both Ribery and Clichy. Still wins a corner.

Referee ticks off Jordi Alba after a tangle with Benzema. Xavi was penalised for a foul instead though.
The match is yet to really get going. Tepid really.
Iniesta looks to play in Cesc, but the two Barca men are on different wavelengths.
Corner sent in from the left and Casillas claims, before losing the ball in contact. Grabbed at the second-attempt.
Great save! Cabaye takes from a similar area to Benzema. Heading for the top-corner - saved by Casillas.
Ramos fouls the advancing Benzema. Cynical.
Corner sent in by Iniesta from the right, but Fabregas heads a long way over the bar. Leaning back
Spain counter after Ribery concedes possession and Cesc does well to pick out Iniesta's diagonal run. Shot deflected for a corner.
For all their short, sharp triangles, Spain have misplaced a fair few passes so far tonight.
A terrible effort from Benzema. Floated, not even powerfully hit, well over the bar.

Silva turns Clichy inside out, but his pull back is touched away from Cesc. France counter, but Debuchy's cross is poor.

Spain look to feed their 'striker' Fabregas, but the Barcelona man is clearly offside.
Benzema surges forward to spring an attack for France, but it comes to an end at the feet of Ribery. Unlucky. Much better from Les Bleus.
Arbeloa has started with intent, but the end product is so poor. Found by Silva this time, Arbeloa's shot is hooked for a throw-in 10 metres from the by-line on the other side of the pitch.
France look to keep the ball for a sustained period, but Ribery allows Silva to win the ball back. Poor.
Spain currently passing around the edge of the France box. Fabregas' pass for Arbeloa is poor though. Goal-kick.
Spain feed Arbeloa on the right and the Real Madrid man crosses, but claimed by Lloris.
Ribery shows a little trick to give a glimpse of his talents. Spain quickly back on the ball, though.
Xabi Alonso tries an ambitious effort from near halfway. Lloris catches comfortably.
France looking to attack quickly when in possession. Spain looking to retain the ball at all times.
PENALTY SHOUT Massive appeals as Cesc Fabregas tumbles under pressure from Clichy. The referee waves away the protests. Correct decision.
Silva looks to have beaten Clichy down the right, in another club-mate battle. Cutting onto his favoured left-foot to pass, he only finds a French shirt.
Cabaye looks to slide Benzema past Ramos, but it is the Spaniard who comes out on top in the all Real Madrid battle.
Nice interplay between Ribery and Malouda as France look to counter. The Bayern man cannot find his team-mate who had got into a dangerous position.
Iniesta looks to slide Jordi Alba in behind Reveillere but Adil Rami is across quickly to clear.
Unsurprisingly, Spain start in possession. This may be a common theme tonight.
KICK OFF in Ukraine...
Followed by the Marcha Real of Spain, which of course has no words.
Anthem time, starting with France and La Marseillaise...
The teams are in the tunnel and ready to emerge into the Donbass Arena. Some fine players on show tonight. Italian referee - Nicola Rizzoli
The winner of this match, of course, faces Portugal in the semi-finals. Will we have an all Iberian encounter?
This from @DaleJohnsonESPN on Twitter - "Spain's Xavi and Andres Iniesta made more completed passes than the whole of the France team combined."
So, Laurent Blanc makes four changes for France as he looks to pack the midfield ahead of this clash with Spain. Yohan Cabaye, Laurent Koscielny, Anthony Reveillere and Florent Malouda come in. One change for Spain, Cesc Fabregas in for Fernando Torres as Del Bosque lines up with no striker once more.

Whispers Poll Voters Love Rush Limbaugh but at a Distance
Sorry, Rush, our poll finds that your fans like you on the radio—not as a summer vacation neighbor.
Rush Limbaugh may be the most popular radio talk show host, but our latest Washington Whispers poll finds that Americans want him shouting from their radio, not next door to their summer vacation home. In the poll by our associates at Synovate eNation, we asked which of four of the media elite—Limbaugh, Fox's Bill O ' Reilly, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann , and Hardball's Chris Matthews—you wouldn't want renting the Martha's Vineyard home next to you. By more than a 2-to-1 margin, it was Limbaugh people wanted to avoid. Some 53 percent shot Limbaugh down, which is too bad, since he reportedly is something of a recluse once he leaves his EIB studio and would probably be a good neighbor. O'Reilly was next at 20 percent, with the others splitting the remainder. What was interesting, says Synovate eNation, is that the results were echoed across all demographics. Normally rich and poor, urban and rural, and young and old poll participants split their response. But in this case, over half in every category expressed their wish to keep Limbaugh in the studio.
The Whispers Poll
You just rented a vacation home on Martha's Vineyard where the political and media elite go. Who is the last person you want as a summer neighbor?
Radio Host Rush Limbaugh 53%
Fox's Bill O'Reilly 20%
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann 14%
Hardball's Chris Matthews 13%

City council will discuss proposal at Monday's meeting Will a Sioux Falls real estate developing company purchase The Bluffs from the city of Vermillion? by David Lias Will a Sioux Falls real estate developing company purchase The Bluffs from the city of Vermillion?
It's too soon to say, but the Vermillion City Council is scheduled to discuss this issue at its meeting Monday night.
City officials and representatives of Dunham Company, Sioux Falls' largest real estate developer, have held two meetings in recent weeks to discuss the possibility of Vermillion selling its housing development project to the firm.
From those meetings, an offer has emerged from Dunham.
Vermillion City Manager Jeff Pederson said Tuesday that the city council will talk about whether to make a counter proposal to the Sioux Falls company at its March 15 meeting.
In late February, the Dunham proposal was still being reviewed by the city.
"We're trying to determine if the Dunham proposal is enough to generate the amount of taxes needed to retire the bonds," Pederson said then. "Another consideration would be the price that Dunham would pay for the lots."
Not accepted or declined
"We have been exploring the feasibility of whether the offer is sufficient to retire the bonds (used to construct The Bluffs)," Pederson said. "The proposal was not sufficient in terms of the bottom line to create a broad enough revenue stream."
The city manager added that no representative of Dunham Company will be at Monday's meeting. Pederson said he has supplied Dunham officials with the necessary suggested changes that would make their offer more acceptable to the city, however.
And as of this week, no door has been closed on further discussions with Dunham.
Pederson said a key part of Dunham's proposal was the amount of homes he planned to build, and how quickly he planned to construct them.
"We had a second meeting and shared our analysis at this point," he said. "No one has neither accepted or declined the proposal, and the city council may make a counter proposal."
Approximately two weeks ago, Pederson confirmed that a meeting had taken place between city officials and Dunham Company on Feb. 1.
"We are having discussions with Dunham Company concerning the possible sale of residential properties at The Bluffs," Pederson said then. "Key issues that need to be explored would be the amount of tax base created by Dunham Company by the construction of homes."
It is vital that any sale concerning The Bluffs contains adequate revenues through a tax base or by other means. The Bluffs, with its beautiful new 18 hole golf course and scores of lots for new residential construction, was made possible by a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district in April 1994.
That allowed the city to issue $4.1 million in bonds, payable over a 15 year period from 1998 to 2013, to construct the new golf course and housing development.
"Taxes projected from the sale of homes were set up to be the number one source of retirement of the bonds," Pederson said.
The height of living
Vermillion uses the phrase "the height of living" to describe the new multilevel golf course and residential development. Approximately 120 new housing lots are being incorporated into development.
Residential sites have already been prepared in The Bluffs' Augusta Development. "It has sites developed there, and would have 35 sites available," Pederson said.
He added that there are plans to open a second residential addition east of the new clubhouse. It would feature 40 lots. And a third residential development is planned for below the bluff that may contain 12 to 15 lots depending on how its platted, Pederson said.
The lots are fully improved, with all utility services installed prior to the concrete surfacing of the streets.
The residential development has been zoned to protect the integrity of the neighborhood, and deed convenants are intended to maximize the value of each lot's location within The Bluffs.
Don Dunham, president of Dunham Company, told the Plain Talk March 3 that he had met with Vermillion officials, but he declined to offer any specific information because further discussions were pending.
"We have an interest in the project," he said. "We are still in some very preliminary discussions."
A well-known name
Dunham is well-known in South Dakota, especially in the Sioux Falls area. Dunham Homes has been serving the needs of the Sioux Falls housing market since 1975, constructing well over 1,000 homes.
Dunham Homes, known for its well-planned developments, has become a major player in the new construction housing market.
It's safe to say that Dunham is a busy man. His company is presently developing Country Club Estates, a new construction development consisting of 365 homesites and 16 acres set aside for apartment and commercial development at the Elk Point Golf Course.
Dunham Company is also involved in housing development at Dakota Dunes, the golf course in North Sioux City, and Fox Run, Yankton's golf course.
"There are indications that the Dunham development concept involves the construction of spec homes," Pederson said. "He is choosing to build homes ahead of demand."
Should the city come to proper terms with a developer that follows such a concept, it could bring benefits to the Vermillion, Pederson said.
"The earlier the homes are constructed, the longer the taxes are drawn," he said. And the sooner that The Bluffs generates additional real estate taxes, the sooner it is insured that the TIF district debt will be appropriately retired.
Pederson said the lot sales at The Bluffs have not met origincal projections, but investments in lots have far exceeded projections.
He added that the payment of the debt of The Bluffs is multi-faceted, using revenue generated by the golf course, from lot sales, and from home construction.
"We are still within the range of feasibility, but we are getting to a point where we need to reassess our marketing strategy," he said.
By the time the TIF district expires, the community will enjoy an additional $12 million to $15 million in property valuations, Pederson said. The Bluffs project, he said, binds housing and recreational development, and creates economic development.
"It's brought a lot of out of town people in to use the golf course," he said, "and they drop some money into local businesses when they visit here."

Yoga derives from prehistoric roots, and develops out of Ancient Indian asceticism (tapas). Yoga as a Hindu philosophy ("darshana") is first expounded in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. This earliest school of Yoga retrospectively came to be known by the retronym Raja Yoga to distinguish it from later schools. Indus Valley civilization (ca. 3300–1700 BC) Several steatite seals discovered at Indus Valley Civilization (c. 3300–1700 BC) sites depict figures in a yoga- or meditation-like posture, "a form of ritual discipline, suggesting a precursor of yoga", according to Indus archeologist Gregory Possehl. He points out sixteen specific "yogi glyptics" in the corpus of Mature Harappan artifacts that suggest Harappan devotion to "ritual discipline and concentration", and that the yoga pose "may have been used by deities and humans alike." Some type of connection between the Indus Valley seals and later yoga and meditation practices is supported by many other scholars.Karel Werner writes that "Archeological discoveries allow us therefore to speculate with some justification that a wide range of Yoga activities was already known to the people of pre-Aryan India."Read more »

When Yoga and Mindfulness Meet Torah
A rabbi, a yogi and a Buddhist walk into the Manhattan JCC…What sounds like a stock opener of a joke actually happened at an event March 1 connected to Dani Shapiro's newly released memoir, "Devotion" (Harper). The author invited her spiritual teachers to join her in a conversation moderated by writer and former television producer Abigail Pogrebin, who not only feigned surprise that attendees didn't arrive in yoga pants, but also declared herself the most high-strung person in the room. Spiritual searching seems de rigueur for the modern memoir, and when Shapiro's first blipped my radar, I thought, the world does not need a Jewish "Eat, Pray, Love." Luckily, with "Devotion," we're getting much more. After relocating to rural Connecticut from Brooklyn, Shapiro suffered a general malaise. A mother in her mid-40s, she'd buried her father in childhood, battled drug addition and alcoholism, and abandoned her Orthodox upbringing. Yet it was her young son who nudged her toward a transformative journey. He asked about God; she sprung into action, seeking out teachers to guide her through her own head.Read more »

Yoga sequences
Here I demonstrated a yoga sequence to help strengthen your lower back – the most vulnerable part of the spine – to protect the sacrum, and improve the stability and flexibility of the hips.
As I've mentioned in the previous article, when done regularly and correctly, this therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation, increase circulation, improve function and increase a sense of self-confidence and well-being. Before you start, always be mindful of breathing. Inhale deeply and freely and exhale completely through the nostrils. In the practice of yoga, inhalation and exhalation are used to integrate the spinal movement. We breathe in to lengthen the spine, creating space in our vertebrae, and we breathe out to move or to go deeper into the posture. Last but not least, follow the order of the sequence. It starts with gentle warm-ups before going further. These hatha yoga poses have been modified to meet therapeutic needs. In this part, we cover poses on the floor and standing, while the next column will cover those lying on the belly and on the back.

Football, men's soccer turn to yoga
At first glance, the Dartmouth football team and men's soccer team might not have much in common. When it comes to training, however, both are fluent in terms such as "lord of the fishes" and "pigeon pose," which have been used during team yoga sessions. Instructed by Julia Cedergren — the wife of men's soccer assistant coach Johan Cedergren — the teams have incorporated yoga to help the athletes improve flexibility and stretch out tight muscles. While the soccer team is entering its second year of supplemental yoga, the football team completed its first term with weekly sessions this Fall. "I've been noticing this semester in particular that we have a lot of flexibility issues with the hips, the hamstrings and the shoulders," football strength and conditioning coach Kaitlin Sweeney said. "[Yoga] is a great way for them to work on those weaknesses as a team, instead of having to do it on their own." Due to NCAA regulations on practice hours, the yoga sessions are optional for the football team, but around 35 players have chosen to attend each class. Head coach Buddy Teevens has also participated in a few sessions.Read more »

Bollywood actresses go size zero
Bollywood actresses are slimming down, as an increasing vogue for showing bare flesh on screen and Western ideas about body size and beauty take hold in India's big cities.Whereas former leading ladies like Mumtaz and Zeenat Aman once found their curvaceous figures no barrier to success, their modern-day counterparts are as famous for their diet and fitness regimes as their acting and dancing skills.
"There's been a lot of changes in the last decade, whether it's in modelling or in Bollywood," said Venu Hirani, a nutritionist and fitness consultant in Mumbai. "Today, the basic requirement for someone wanting to go into either is that they need to be a (US) size zero," she said. Actress Kareena Kapoor has been the focus of much media attention since appearing in a bikini in the 2008 film Tashan (Style) - a significant development in an industry known for its chaste treatment of romantic love. The 29-year-old star slimmed down dramatically for the role and reportedly collapsed on set. She has since had to deny suggestions that her current weight is unhealthy, instead attributing her smaller size to eating correctly, regular exercise and yoga.

The iPad Air at NYC's Fifth Ave: Apple's quietest iPad launch yetNovember 1, 2013: 9:47 AM ET
We counted 419 customers, 50% of 2012's iPad mini launch, 35% of 2011's iPad 2.
FORTUNE -- It was raining lightly in New York City for the launch of the iPad Air -- the fifth iPad that Apple (AAPL) has released since 2010 and the first of two coming out this fall. (The second, the Retina iPad mini is due before the end of November.)
But rather than blame the weather for the light turnout -- the lightest yet for an iPad at Apple's Fifth Ave. store -- perhaps we should marvel at the fact that hundreds of New Yorkers and New York tourists will still line up in the rain for yet another variation on a three-and-a-half-year-old theme, no matter how positive the reviews.
Four minutes after the 8:00 a.m. launch, I counted 392 customers in the main line and 27 in pre-order, a total of 419.
In the spreadsheet below, note that I disagree with Piper Jaffray's iPad Mini/4th Gen number. I counted 801 heads that day.
Below: 15 seconds of video from the event.

Fargo, ND (WDAY TV)-- The weather has certainly took its toll on the Bison baseball team.
Tod Brown's squad was supposed to hold its home opener this afternoon, but that was cancelled, forcing NDSU to play its first 27 games on the road...the Bison are scheduled to host Western Illinois next weekend, but that series may have to move as well.
Tod Brown- NDSU Baseball Coach: "Our kids are used to it we're used to it we don't talk about it if you want to play 40 home games then go find another school in Texas and Florida they know what they signed up I knew what I signed up for, not going to use it as excuses last year we played 70 percent of our games on the road and won 40 games so we're not going to use it as excuse use it as fuel to prove people wrong."

Franklin Resources Inc., one of the country's biggest mutual fund companies, grew headcount and increased pay as stock markets surged at the end of 2010. In the past 12 months, Franklin added 237 workers to its payroll, according to the company's earnings release this morning. The company now employs 7,989 versus 7,752 at the end of 2009.

With $501 million in first quarter profit, a 41% increase over the year-earlier period, the company handily beat analyst estimates.
Its pool of assets under management in the quarter grew 4% to $671 billion, as investors added $3.2 billion and movement in the markets pushed up their value.

She's Got Legs1 of 16
By Zoe Schaeffer
As if scoring George Clooney weren't enough, Stacy Keibler's long, toned legs inspire envy on their own. See how she works her best asset—not counting Clooney, of course—in short skirts, slit dresses and more skin-baring styles.
Short Order2 of 16
Ankle boots and short anything is the kind of look only ladies with legs for miles can pull off.
Tan Lines3 of 16
Having a perfect tan enhances just about everything. Keibler accentuates her golden gams with a tight aqua mini and gray pumps.
Go With the Flow4 of 16
Although she tends to opt for body-conscious looks, Keibler is no stranger to flowy styles either. Her sculpted legs give a romantic peach frock and white strappy sandals a sportier feel.
Black Tie5 of 16
Keibler effortlessly demonstrates how you can still show off your stems while covering them up. At a Vanity Fair bash, she opts for a fitted tux-inspired suit that's both sleek and sexy.
Strapped In6 of 16
Strappy red stilettos provide the finishing touch on Keibler's sexy black ensemble.
Long Story7 of 16
A maxi-length dress with a sultry slit provides a peek at Keibler's pins.
Split Picture8 of 16
Working the side slit again, Clooney's leading lady struts her stuff in a halter-style dress that accentuates her arms as well as her legs.
Gold Coast9 of 16
A gilded mini dress and nude heels lengthen the blonde's already endless legs.
Back-Up Plan10 of 16
An open back with shimmery black straps brings the attention to Keibler's rear view.
Black Out11 of 16
Skintight black pants and tall dark boots give the illusion of length—even for those who aren't as fortunate as the former pro cheerleader.
Jump In12 of 16
A super-short jumpsuit emphasizes Keibler's legs while nude heels (once again) accentuate their length.
Neon Punch13 of 16
While at a fitness retreat, the onetime pro wrestler opts for neon pink short shorts that will surely help her kick some butt in the ring—probably by distracting her opponent.
Boot Camp14 of 16
Nothing says sexy quite like over-the-knee boots. A conservative black dress prevents the look from going too racy.
Pink Lady15 of 16
A blousy fit up top complements Keibler's skintight mini below.
Cut It Out16 of 16
Pre-Clooney, the dancing star took a more revealing route in a mini dress that also had a slit for a double dose of leggy-ness.

A group in Lynchburg wants to make the roads safer for bicycles.
Region 2000 is working with cyclists and the Virginia Department of Transportation to raise money for a series of road signs that remind car and truck drivers to "share the road" with their counterparts on two wheels.
Fundraising is underway now to collect money for the signs. That effort is being done in memory of Dr. John Bell, a Lynchburg surgeon who was hit and killed on his bicycle in 2007.

"The purpose is to create awareness the bicycles are transportation devices," said Kelly Hitchcock, a fundraising organizer and senior programmer with Region 2000.
"Bicycles may be on the road, they're legal, and we're just trying to create the education and awareness," said Hitchcock.
$150 will buy one "Share the Road" sign.
Donations can be made to:

Optional Vibram rubber sole for better traction
As many modern feet are not used to the softness of period shoes and for those needing more support we strongly recommend adding the vibram sole option to your boots. Please note that boots with vibram soles added take an additional 7-10 days to ship and cannot be shipped via expedited methods (Fed Ex). Also, because they are custom ordered they are not returnable or exchangable.

The Edmond Santa Fe volleyballers are ranked as the elite team in the state, and for good reason.
The Lady Wolfpack hitting machine just seems to put it in another gear every tournament. Saturday in Jenks, Santa Fe came away with yet another title, this time over Owasso with Jenks winding up third. The Wolves swept Owasso 25-20, 25-16 and 25-9 to haul off the top tournament brass.
"We played very well in our last regular season tournament," Santa Fe skipper Will Ethridge said. "The girls stepped up and played with a high level of energy."
The Lady Wolves did not lose a game and no one came closer than 25-20 as Santa Fe chalked up 18 successive wins beginning with Norman, Broken Arrow, Cascia Hall, Norman North, Jenks and then Owasso in the finals.
Santa Fe climbs to 24-1 as Jordan Spence was named the Most Valuable Player. She supplied 58 kills in the tournament, sported an attack percentage of .510 and led the Wolves in blocking with 14 along with Aeriel Jackson.
Teammate Taylor Horton, who was named to the All-Tournament Team along with fellow Lady Wolf Bailey Otto, served up 14 aces.
Santa Fe's Kaleo Kanahele posted 90 set assists and Samantha Ethridge came away with 56 digs.
Santa Fe hosts Edmond Memorial tonight at 6:30.
Santa Fe claims another championship

North boys win Deer Creek Invitational; Memorial girls clear 200 points
The Edmond North boys track squad used a strong showing in the relays to roll up 178 points and outpoint host Deer Creek at the annual Deer Creek Antlers Invitational Friday at Deer Creek High School. The Antlers claimed the runner-up trophy with 158 points.
It was more of the same in the girls division as powerful Edmond Memorial once again cracked the 200-point barrier en route a 203.7 total with North a distant second with 110 points.
The Huskies got off to a roaring start as they won the 400 meter relay in 42.25 for 20 points shortly before Mark Sharpton, Jaylon Jones and Reagan Harris added 20 more points with a 1-3-4 finish in the 100 hurdles. Sharpton took the gold with a time of 14.75, Jones was third and Harris fourth. Harris won silver in the 300 hurdles with a time of 40:50.
Edmond mixed-martial artists raising money for bombing victims
Nineteen years after the Oklahoma City bombing, one family says the financial loss still haunts them. Brandon and Rebecca Denny are two of only six child survivors from the American Kids Day Care on the second floor of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. After the bombing, Brandon spent several months in intensive care and a rehabilitation center before going home. He has a permanent shunt in the back of his head and now also suffers from seizures.
Schrock throws perfect game again
Kalynn Schrock was overpowering from the outset in throwing a perfect game as No. 22-ranked Central Oklahoma blanked Washburn 4-0 in the first game of a Mid-America Athletics Association doubleheader in Topeka, Kan., Saturday afternoon.
The Ichabods rebounded in the nightcap, jumping out to an early 5-0 lead en route to a 5-3 victory that dropped the defending champion Bronchos out of the league lead. UCO is now 35-11 on the season and 19-3 in the MIAA, trailing No. 5 Emporia State (36-9, 16-2) in the standings.
Santa Fe blanks Midwest City; Cain, Rivas score hat trick
The Edmond Santa Fe boys used a big second half to blank Midwest City by a 2-0 count Friday night at Edmond Santa Fe High School.
After missing several opportunities in the first half, the seventh-ranked Wolves found the mark in the final 40 minutes for the two-goal district win.
"We're 3-0 in district now so you can't ask for anything more than that," Wolfpack coach Joe Peeler said. "Moore and Southmoore are both improved so our next games will be tough."
The unwavering Bulldog
You'll be hard-pressed to find someone as Edmond as Byron Graham.
He was born in 1947 at St. Anthony's and was soon brought home to his house on Eighth Street. He never left, except for a stint to go to college at Oklahoma State and upon graduation, he landed right back teaching in the Edmond school district.
Monday, Graham, a longtime educator and coach in Edmond, received a call informing him that he had been selected for the Oklahoma Coaches Association's Hall of Fame. He will be inducted formally at 6:30 p.m. July 27 in the Southern Hills Marriott in Tulsa.
"It's quite an honor," he said. "I was surprised because I know the high school put out some information last year and I didn't make it. I thought it was a one-time deal and really didn't know."
North sweeps Southmoore
Edmond North freshman Addy Guthrie assisted Abbey Bright on both goals in a 2-0 shutout of Southmoore Tuesday night at North High School.
The triumph bumps up the Lady Huskies' district record to 2-0.
In boys action, the Huskies walloped the SaberCats 6-0 behind a pair of assists by senior Alex Mullet.
Edmond North will host Moore Tuesday with the Lady Huskies kicking things off at 6 p.m.
Fired coach unjustly accused of visiting porn sites
The president of Minnesota State University-Mankato accused a football coach of looking at Internet porn on a work computer before firing him, an arbitrator has revealed. The official said the claim could not be supported, and the coach shouldn't have been fired.
Athletes, coaches named to the FCA 2014 All-State Team
The Oklahoma Fellowship of Christian Athletes announced their 2014 All-State selections. These All-State athletes and coaches will be honored at the Western Heritage Museum on Tuesday.
The FCA All-State Award was established to recognize achievement in the classroom and on the athletic field while being involved in their local FCA Campus Organization. FCA recognizes the character, academic and athletic achievement and Christian faith of an individual student-athlete. FCA All-State athletes are all high school seniors who are nominated by the local FCA Sponsor in each community.
OPINION: Too much of a good thing at UConn?
The Connecticut Huskies dominate women's college basketball - which makes for a boring game.
Pacheco, baseballers sign letters of intents
The Deer Creek Athletic Department sent off another four athletes Wednesday afternoon in a signing ceremony for scholarships at Deer Creek High School.
Cole Pacheco, who wrapped up his illustrious high school wrestling career with his third consecutive state championship, obviously is going to the next level.
Surprisingly, Pacheco is not going to wrestle.

St. Paul >Food & Dining > Cheng Heng Restaurant
448 University Ave W, St Paul, MN | Directions 5510344.955594 -93.119371
Monday To Sunday From 09:30 AM To 09:30 PM
Neighborhoods: Thomas - Dale, South Frogtown
I been there 3 times. I didn't know I'd like Cambodian food.
I consider it very reasonably priced. I have told friends that this is my favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities but I've told them it is homely. I guess I would say that it has little or no atmosphere. I just love it and I'm going there on Sunday when I plan on ordering an extra dish or two just to bring home.
Ate there more than 200 times over 15 years. Really miss it since retirement. Last time had trouble with light rail construction. Call before you go.
Excellent every time – This is a restaurant I take my out-of-town guests to, as it is consistently good food, quick, relatively inexpensive. So the place is not as glossy an atmosphere or ambiance as, say, Mai Village. But I found the food to be tasty with no MSG, and the service is family-friendly and conscientious. Their green-lipped mussels in black bean sauce is terrific - the mussels are fully cooked without being rubbery, still tender and flavorful, and their curry chicken soup is just the thing on a chilly day. The kids love the young coconut and the bubble teas, and I love the iced red tea. I have no hesitation in recommending Cheng Heng to anyone.
Excellent and Consistent – We like the beef (Pho) and chicken soups and I have #22 a lot. The bubble tea is outstanding - try taro. The salads are light and fresh. They are skilled with tofu.
If you are tired of Americanized Asian this is your place.
cheap good eats – I've been here more than once. The coconut bubble tea is delicious. I don't remember straying away from the noodle dishes here as they don't seem to have many other vegetarian choices in other areas. It's cheap food with large servings. Brought my family here and everyone enjoyed their food. At one point, we ordered the green papaya salad, which was extremely spicy. Waay to spicy for me and my boyfriend (granted I don't have an iron tongue). This may be a place people pass by to go somewhere more aestetically pleasing, but once you get past that, it's a good place to eat.
From a caucasion and Cambodian. – My girlfriend, who is Cambodian, and I went to Cheng Heng today after a horrible experience with Village Wok in Minneapolis and the moment the food was put in front of me, I knew it was going to be good. I had the #52, which is in the "new item" section of the menu and it was delicious. The green peppers were crunchy and perfectly cooked, as were the onions -- and the chicken was wonderful. The subtle sweet sauce in this dish is what convinced me. Eaten with chopsticks.
My girlfriend choose the #15 which featured Chow Fun-like noodles (she says it's spoken like Mee-gah-ton noodles) but she enjoyed it very much.
I would suggest getting a soda dispenser as opposed to using normal 12oz soda cans because not only does it taste better when dining out in my opinion, but it's also cheaper for the store itself.
This was my first experience with Cheng Heng and it won't be my last.
You must try this place – Although this is a modest restaurant in the middle of frogtown this is one of my favorite places in the entire twin cities. I frequent this place at least once a month if not more sometimes. The spring rolls are excellent as well as the cream puffs, try them both. I try something different each time I go. They have excellent soups. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. This is a true Cambodian restaurant.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Patrons choose froma photo album-style menu of Cambodian cuisine such as lo mein, chha kroeng and chuen--fried tilapia with ginger.
Enjoyable and different – We recently at at Cheng Heng and were quite pleased. We ordered the Beef Saramann (beef curry soup) and it was delicious. We also tried the Banh Xiung, an interesting concauction of stir fried beef over vermecelli, lettuce and cucumbers with a light sweet and tangy sauce topped with peanuts. Although it would have been better with rice noodles, it was also good -- light and fresh, yet warm and filling at the same time. As far as the atmosphere goes, you'll either love it or hate it. It has an odd set up and is quite basic. However, it is also what I consider to be one of the few "real" places, down to earth and very family oriented.
unique asian comfort food – Went here maybe a month ago with work friends, and we were all very pleased. I had some kind of meat and bean sprout filled funky crepe thing, nearly everyone else had curry/noodle soup (and that's what I'm going to get next time, judging from how much they liked it!) Not as cheap as it used to be, I hear, but still a great bargain. Under $10 for appetizer + main course.
